Using spin bias to manipulate and measure quantum spin in quantum dots [PDF]
A double-quantum-dot coupled to electrodes with spin-dependent splitting of chemical potentials (spin bias) is investigated theoretically by means of the Green's functions formalism. By applying a large spin bias, the quantum spin in a quantum dot (the dot 1) can be manipulated in a fully electrical manner.

Co-tunneling spin blockade observed in a three-terminal triple quantum dot [PDF]
We prepare a triple quantum dot with a separate contact lead to each dot to study Pauli spin blockade in the tunnel-coupled three dots in a row. We measure the tunneling current flowing between the center dot and either the left or right dot with the left and right leads as a common source and the center lead as a drain. In the biased stability diagram,

A two-dimensional array of single-hole quantum dots [PDF]
Quantum dots fabricated using techniques and materials that are compatible with semiconductor manufacturing are promising for quantum information processing. While great progress has been made toward high-fidelity control of quantum dots positioned in a linear arrangement, scalability along two dimensions is a key step toward practical quantum ...

Excitonic properties of strained wurtzite and zinc-blende GaN/Al(x)Ga(1-x)N quantum dots [PDF]
We investigate exciton states theoretically in strained GaN/AlN quantum dots with wurtzite (WZ) and zinc-blende (ZB) crystal structures, as well as strained WZ GaN/AlGaN quantum dots. We show that the strain field significantly modifies the conduction and valence band edges of GaN quantum dots.

Efficient Quantum Dot−Quantum Dot and Quantum Dot−Dye Energy Transfer in Biotemplated Assemblies [PDF]
CdSe semiconductor nanocrystal quantum dots are assembled into nanowire-like arrays employing microtubule fibers as nanoscale molecular "scaffolds." Spectrally and time-resolved energy-transfer analysis is used to assess the assembly of the nanoparticles into the hybrid inorganic biomolecular structure. Specifically, we demonstrate that a comprehensive

Solution of the Schrödinger Equation for Quantum Dot Lattices with Coulomb Interaction between the Dots [PDF]
The Schr\"odinger equation for quantum dot lattices with non-cubic, non-Bravais lattices built up from elliptical dots is investigated. The Coulomb interaction between the dots is considered in dipole approximation. Then only the center of mass (c.m.) coordinates of different dots couple with each other. This c.m.

Photovoltaic Performance of a Nanowire/Quantum Dot Hybrid Nanostructure Array Solar Cell
An innovative solar cell based on a nanowire/quantum dot hybrid nanostructure array is designed and analyzed. By growing multilayer InAs quantum dots on the sidewalls of GaAs nanowires, not only the absorption spectrum of GaAs nanowires is extended by ...

Polar optical phonons in wurtzite spheroidal quantum dots: Theory and application to ZnO and ZnO/MgZnO nanostructures [PDF]
Polar optical-phonon modes are derived analytically for spheroidal quantum dots with wurtzite crystal structure. The developed theory is applied to a freestanding spheroidal ZnO quantum dot and to a spheroidal ZnO quantum dot embedded into a MgZnO crystal. The wurtzite (anisotropic) quantum dots are shown to have strongly different polar optical-phonon
